Chapter Fourteen: Final Showdown!
The guys stood their ground towards Exetior. But even with the four of them combined, Exetior just stood there and laughed evilly.
"You four really think you have a chance against me? Imbeciles! There's no way you can stop me!" Exetior stated evilly.
"We may not be able to stop you, but it doesn't stop us from kicking the living shit out of you!" Knuckles snarled.
"Uh, remember the plan, Knuckles!" Tails told him.
"I know, Tails!" Knuckles replied.
"Either way, we're going to stop you, Exetior! No matter what it takes!" Shadow yelled.
"And we may not be able to kill you, but we will be able to stop you!" Sonic explained, in a serious tone.
"And how exactly do you plan on doing that?" Exetior asked.
"That's for us to know, and you to find out!" Knuckles replied.
"And how dare you lay a hand on my fiancée, you son of a bitch!" Sonic snarled. Exetior just laughed at him.
"Not like that'll matter much longer. You're all my slaves soon anyway!" Exetior retorted evilly.
"Just try enslaving the Ultimate Life Form!" Shadow snarled.
"Oh don't you worry, Shadow! When this is all set and done, you will be enslaved!" Exetior laughed evilly.
"Just make one deal with us!" Sonic demanded.
"And what deal is that, Sonic?" Exetior asked.
"When we start this battle, leave the girls out of this! This is between us four, and you!" Sonic explained. Exetior laughed evilly again.
"Sonic, no! That's suicide!" Amy yelled.
"Don't worry, Amy. I promise everything will be alright. Just you and the girls stay out of this fight, and stay next to the Master Emerald until this is done." Sonic told her.
"OK, Sonic. But please, don't do anything foolish." Amy pleaded.
After that, the girls ran towards the Master Emerald. The guys then turned their attention back to Exetior.
"This is our fight now, Exetior! Leave the girls out of this, and fight us like a man!" Sonic stated. Exetior smiles evilly.
"Well, I guess I can't say fairer than that. OK, you have my word. But know this! Because you've requested this, you will all be the first ones to die by my hands!" Exetior snarled.
"Wouldn't have it any other way!" Knuckles retorted.
"Brace yourself, freak!" Shadow added.
"There's no turning back, guys!" Tails told them.
"Now Exetior, BURN IN HELL!" Sonic yells, as the four guys charged towards Exetior.
Sonic threw in kicks, Tails was sending in tail-whips, Knuckles threw in punches, and Shadow threw in Chaos Spears. But with each blow, Exetior kept dodging every single shot. Exetior used his powers and sent the four flying backwards a couple of inches. Exetior just laughs evilly.
"See what I mean? You do not stand a chance!" Exetior told them.
"Man, he's tougher than I thought!" Knuckles stated.
"This isn't going to be an easy battle!" Shadow added.
"But we've got to keep trying!" Sonic told them.
"Guys, keep him busy! I've got a plan!" Tails told them, as he ran towards the Master Emerald.
"Tails, where are you going?!" Knuckles yelled. Exetior then punches Knuckles across the jaw, and knocked him unconscious.
"KNUCKLES!" Sonic yelled.
"Knuckles, NO!" Tikal yelled worriedly, as she ran towards Knuckles, and cradled him in her arms.
Sonic then charges towards Exetior, and they both exchanged punches to one another. Shadow charged up a powerful looking Chaos Spear.
"Say goodnight, dead man walking! CHAOS SPEAR!" Shadow yells, and he launches the beam towards Exetior.
Sonic quickly dodged out of the way, before the beam hits him too. When it hit Exetior, he just laughs evilly at Shadow.
"Nice shot, Shadow. Felt just like a mosquito bite." Exetior mocked. Shadow gasped in horror.
"That didn't hurt him?! But how?! That's my most powerful attack!" Shadow said in shock. Exetior then teleports right in front of Shadow.
"Don't feel too bad, Shadow. It's still a pretty powerful attack. Just a pity for you, I'm immune to those kinds of attacks!" Exetior says with an evil grin.
"Well then, how about we try something else?!" Shadow retorted, as he grins cockily at Exetior.
"Shadow, NO! Are you crazy?! You'll blow Angel Island to oblivion!" Sonic yelled in fear.
"Shadow, there has to be another way!" Rouge called out, who is also worried.
"LIKE WE HAVE ANY OTHER CHOICE?!" Shadow snarled.
As he said that, he was now glowing red. An aura has formed around Shadow.
"Well, what is this?" Exetior thought sarcastically.
"Now time to die!" Shadow yelled, as he grabbed Exetior.
"CHAOS... BLAST!" Shadow yells.
"SHADOW, NO!" Sonic and Rouge yell, as they watch on.
But lucky for them, Shadow teleported Exetior up into the sky before the Chaos Blast had been powered up. All that was seen was a huge explosion in the sky. It was like watching fireworks exploding fire.
"Shadow, you fucking idiot! You could have done something else, besides that!" Sonic yelled, angrily.
"Why Shadow?!" Rouge sobbed, as sad tears were flowing from here eyes.
Shadow then teleported back to ground level, where he suffered a few scratches.
"What are you crying about? I'm fine! The monster is gone!" Shadow said. Exetior teleported behind Shadow.
"Oh, really?" Exetior stated.
After that, he Karate chopped Shadow on the top of his head, and knocked him unconscious as well.
"Shadow!" Rouge screamed, as she ran towards Shadow, and cradled him in her arms.
"Now it's just us, Sonic! Ready to fall next?" Exetior mocked him. Sonic grunted angrily.
"TAILS! WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING?!" Sonic snarled.
"Hang on, Sonic!" Tails told him, as he placed his hands on the Mater Emerald.
Tails had a light yellow aura around him.
"Tails, what are you doing?!" Cream asked worriedly.
"This is one of the few ideas I have in mind! I have to do this! There's nothing to worry about, Cream!" Tails explained.
The yellow aura was glowing brighter. After ten seconds of absorbing the Master Emeralds energy, Tails's fur was glowing a pale gold colour, and his eyes turned red.
"Tails?!" Sonic said in surprise.
"Yes, Sonic! I'm using my super form! Now, I'm going to get you, Knuckles, and Shadow too!" Tails stated, as he quickly flew towards Knuckles.
He placed his hand on Knuckles' chest, and shared his energy with Knuckles. Knuckles' eyes shot open, as his fur was now glowing lilac, and his eyes have turned red too. Then they rushed towards Shadow, and shared their energy with him. Shadow's eyes also shot opened, and his fur began glowing a bright gold colour.
And last but not least, they made their way towards Sonic, and they all placed their hands in the centre. During this, they also shared their energy with Sonic, and now Sonic's fur was glowing a bright gold colour, his quills pointed upwards, and his eyes turned crimson red. Exetior looked on and laughs.
"So, it has come down to this, has it? Well, this is going to be a fun battle after all!" Exetior stated, with an evil grin.
But what does that mean? How can he be so calm when there are four warriors in their ultimate super forms?
